Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent housed rice from getting damp and prevent harmful insects from breeding to enable long-time preservation by making numerous small holes on a surface of a container shaped into appearance similar to a straw bag rice to allow air from coming in/out of an internal cavity. SOLUTION: A container body 1 and a lid 2 are molded with synthetic resin as a material, wherein a large internal cavity is formed in the container body 1. Longitudinal ropes 3 and lateral ropes 4 are shaped with equal intervals respectively on a surface of the container body 1 to exhibit an apparent shape similar to that of a straw rice bag. Further, narrow fine irregular grooves extending lengthwise are provided in the surface 5 of the container body 1 to form appearance in a state of knitted straw. Numerous small holes 9 are made on the surface 5 and connected with the cavity formed in the container body 1. The lid 2 is of a screw-type and detachably attached to prevent the container appearance from being spoiled while a hanging string 14 are fixed to both sides.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for storing rice as a souvenir or as a gift.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, rice has been sold everywhere, and each brand is named. However, these rice containers are generally nylon bags, and nylon bags of a size corresponding to the amount of rice to be stored are used. When used as a daily staple food, the above-mentioned rice in a nylon bag has no problem. However, when used as a souvenir after returning from travel or as a gift, it has some problems. In other words, while nylon bags are the cheapest, they are inferior in appearance as souvenirs and gifts.

In the past, bales made of straw were used as rice containers, and one bale contained four tons (about 60 kg) of rice. This rice bale has a strong image as a rice container,
Although the appearance is preferable, the production is troublesome and the work of storing rice in the bale is not easy. For small rice bales as souvenirs or as gifts, the price of the container is higher than the price of the contained rice.

Therefore, there is a rice container molded from synthetic resin without using straw as a material (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-71412). This container is formed using a synthetic resin and comprises a substantially cylindrical container body having a bottom and a lid attached to an upper opening edge of the container body. The required number of vertical and horizontal lines were formed, and the bottom and the lid were radially provided with a line formed of a rope pattern on the outer peripheral surface, etc., and formed into a bale shape, and the container body was formed into a rice bale shape Things. Therefore, it can be used for gifts and souvenirs.

[0005] Further, as a bale-packing container, a hole is provided in the bale lid, an opening of the storage container is provided in the hole, and a cap is provided in the opening to form the container without unraveling the bale rope. The rice inside can be taken in and out (Japanese Utility Model No. 60-84553). 60-118
As shown in US Pat. No. 669, there is also a rice bale considered as a gift.

[0006]

As described above, a rice container that mimics the appearance of an old straw bales made of straw has been considered. As there is no ingress or egress, it is humid, and as a result, pests are generated and the quality of stored rice is deteriorated.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem,
Provided is a rice bale container that is closer to a straw-made rice bale in appearance and does not generate pests.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a rice bale container made of a synthetic resin, and the container is formed to have an appearance imitating a rice bale. In other words, it has the appearance of a woven straw,
The horizontal ropes are formed at equal intervals, and the vertical ropes are also formed at equal intervals. The interior has a large cavity to accommodate rice, with a lid on one side.
The lid is of a screw type without impairing the appearance of the rice bale, and the screw portion of the lid is not exposed when the lid is closed.

On the other hand, in the present invention, a number of small holes are formed in the outer surface of the container. However, these holes are sized so that rice grains do not flow out.
Also, both ends of the hanging string are fixed to both ends of the rice bale container, and can be lowered when carrying around. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0009]

FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a rice bale container of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container main body, and 2 denotes a lid. The lid is of a screw type and can be removed. The container body 1 and the lid 2 are molded products made of synthetic resin, and the container body 1 has a large internal cavity.
The rice bale container has an appearance similar to a rice bale, in which the vertical ropes 3, 3,... Are formed in a headband shape at equal intervals, and the horizontal ropes 4, 4,. .

The surface 5 of the container body 1 has fine concave and convex grooves extending in the longitudinal direction in order to form the appearance of a woven straw, and the vertical ropes 3, 3,... And the horizontal ropes 4, 4,. It is formed on the surface 5. In the cross section 6 between the vertical ropes 3, 3, ... and the horizontal ropes 4, 4, ..., the horizontal ropes 4, 4, ... are wound around the vertical ropes 3, 3, .... As a result, the vertical ropes 3, 3, ... are displaced. It has a non-appearing appearance. This is the same as a real straw bales.

[0011] The rice bales are disc-shaped bales 7 on both sides.
The bales 7, 7 are applied to both sides of the container body, and are attached by a net made by knitting thin ropes 8, 8,. A large number of small holes 9, 9... Are formed in the surface 5 and communicate with a cavity formed in the container body. Therefore, air can enter and exit through these holes 9, 9... And the air in the cavity can be replaced. Here, the size of the hole 9 is such that the rice grains do not flow out.

FIG. 2 shows a case where the lid 2 is removed from the container body 1. A screw 10 is connected to one end of the container body 1 by a joining surface 11.
The screw 10 is formed with a hole serving as a doorway, and the hole communicates with the internal cavity. A screw hole 12 is formed in one lid 2, and the screw 10 is provided in the screw hole 1.
2, the lid 2 is attached to the container body 1. In this case, the joining surface 13 provided on the lid side is in contact with the joining surface 11 on the main body side without a gap, and the screw 1 is attached by attaching the lid 2.
0 and the screw hole 12 become invisible.

Here, the mounting structure of the lid is not limited to the screw type, but may be a fitting type utilizing spring force. The rice bale container of the present invention is formed into a size corresponding to the amount of rice to be accommodated, and hanging strings 14 with both ends fastened to both sides thereof. As described above, the rice bale container of the present invention has an appearance similar to a rice bale,
A large number of small holes are formed in the surface, and a lid is attached to one end, so that the following effects can be obtained.

[0014]

The rice bale container of the present invention has an appearance similar to an actual rice bale, so that it has a better appearance than conventional rice in a nylon bag and can be taken back as a souvenir of a travel destination. Yes, it can also be sent as a gift. Moreover,
Since the container is a molded product made of synthetic resin, the production cost is low and the container is strong. A removable lid is provided at one end, but there is no problem in appearance, and it is a mini-sized rice bales.

A large number of small holes are formed in the surface of the rice bale container and communicate with the internal cavity. Therefore, air does not enter or leave the cavity, and the stored rice does not get wet, and the rice does not get infested with the pests generated by the humidity, and can be stored for a long time in the container. A hanging string is attached for easy carrying.
